Have you done your taxes yet?

Here we are a week away from the dreaded tax day. Where has this year gone? If you haven’t gotten them ready yet you better get crackin’ and if you have them done and in you are way ahead of the game.

Being self-employed has made tax time a headache for us since we owe quarterly taxes as well as anything we didn’t estimate correctly for 2008. I wish that there was an easier way to figure out the craziness of taxes and actually come out okay. I’m really hoping that this year everything is hunky-dory and we have enough money for a decent vacation this year. We’ll know in about 6 weeks if we were right or not.

I usually file an extension, and wait for the pressure to build for a few more months. It is easier, but then I forget to do them at all. Or I lose the paperwork and spend months trying to find where I put it for safekeeping. Some I never find. Sigh.

I loved the doggy picture, I did not even see the lady in the bed until I was trying to figure out what that hair on the side of the bed was. I was laughing so much when I saw that picture, then I scrolled down to the others, back to that one again and I started laughing again. I think all the pictures are great. I had to go to the website to see more. I just wanted to ask if we have to get permission to use their pictures or are we doing the “We do not make money and use it.” thing. I oh so much would like to use their pictures too but do not want to do it unless it is okay with you. This is funny, I am asking you for permission, but not them, unless I have to.

Plus I hope you can answer this question for me. How do you post a video where they can stay on your page to watch the video. I know how to do the linky thingy, but not how to post it and watch it. I barely know how to do pictures and hope I can even post the ones from that site, but I cannot figure the video thingy out. And sadly I always need step by step instructions. You should have seen me try to learn cut & paste. I was so thankful when someone wrote all those steps for me. Hard to believe that it was only last October when I learned that one. And I have owned a computer since ’92. I guess it takes me a long time to learn something. On top of that I took computer programming classes in college, along with computer repair. I got A’s to boot. Maybe I should have taken more, but always kept changing my major. I am still trying to figure out what I am going to be when I grow up.

Good luck with your taxes, I hope you get enough for a great vacation this year.

I use pictures from sites that you can “share” from like the one you liked, it was from HaHaStop.com. There are lots of sites out there that you can get pics from and they usually have the link to post it on your blog. There are lots of free sites for regular photography and I use Photobucket and Flickr a lot. You just have to look to see if it is copywrited or all rights reserved.

You are on blogger aren’t you? The little icons up at the top of the post box has an add video button or if you use Live Writer then there is a plug in for adding videos which is easier.

If you are still having troubles, email me at the address on the PR badge on the sidebar and I will try and help you out.

Yes, Elliot the Tax Man finished the taxes and found us some money from Uncle Sam so we can buy the oven after all hallelujah! LOL I hate tax season. And BTW EmmaLou does like to sleep like that – she particularly enjoys her daddy’s pillow and will regularly push him off it. Cheers! Hope you get a windfall from Uncle Sam!

Good luck with the tax man, you never know maybe you have overpaid in the past and are due a refund – fingers crossed. I have been looking after my sisters dog who has gone home today so for the past four nights have been sleeping in the style of your photo but with two dogs on my bed.

Isn’t it crazy how the pets totally take over the bed? Of course ours always have to lay on my head or take up my space but leave Hubby’s side alone. Every one wants on Momma not Dad. Guess I’m just fluffier and more comfy to lay on.

We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we do have the refund we think we are getting but you never know for sure until after the tax man gets done with it.
